General and Jurisdictional Conferences

General Conference 2012

General Conference is the top policy-making body of The United Methodist Church. The 1000-member assembly meets once every four years to consider revisions to church law, as well as adopt resolutions on current moral, social, public policy and economic issues. It also approves plans and budgets for churchwide programs for the next four years. The 2012 meeting will take place April 24-May 4 at the Tampa Convention Center.

“With expectancy, ignited by prayer, United Methodists throughout the Florida Conference and the local hospitality team prepare for your arrival. We hope our sunny weather and warm welcome offer a harmonious setting for the unity and health of the church.”

-- Bishop Timothy Whitaker, resident Bishop of the Florida Conference
